[Verse 1]
Never realized how much she brought to the table
'Til I went to sit my cup of coffee where the table used to be
No cats, no bed, no heirloom antique cradle
No more hope for one day startin' that family
Bet she's gainin' fast on Memphis with a trailer-load in tow
And they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Chorus]
'Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'
And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright
And I got away with leavin' what needs said unspoken
Hell, I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
She took her heart and took off down that road
And they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Verse 2]
Well, good news is ain’t much here left for packin'
Bad news is she left behind a million memories
All the echoes of her cryin', lovin', and laughin'
Left me with nothin' left to do but leave
That house is in the rear view, ridin' shotgun is her ghost
And they say you can't take it with you when you go

[Chorus]
'Cause she got away with everything that I had goin'
And she got away 'fore I could make it all alright
And I got away with leavin' what needs said unspoken
Hell, I even blew the chance I had to tell her goodbye
She just took her heart and took off down that road
And they say you can't take it with you when you go
[Post-Chorus]
Closin' in on Dallas, now, is the best love I've ever known
And they say you can't take it with you when you go
Ah

[Outro]
Never realized how much she brought to the table
